Owl Character Rig (In Progress)

  This lovely owl is for my 3D animation class. The assignment is to model a character and rig it up to show 3 different movements the model can do.

It's not necessarily an animation, but more like a practice run an animator would make for a character they are working on. It's to make sure the model has no problems doing certain movements when it comes to animating later on in the process.

So far, my owl will be able to 1) Rotate his head 2) Flutter his wings 3) Walk on his legs (yet to be modeled) 4) Move his Beak. Cant' wait to get this little man up and running!

This is Aria and she is meant for a younger age group. I would say kids from the ages of 6-12. She would be found in fantasy based games targeting younger children and participating in fun and easy word games and puzzles. Her character is framed in a round and non-threatening way so as to seem both inviting and friendly to children. The inspiration for this character actually comes from a short story I recently read.

She is a fairy living in an ancient wood that is being overtaken by dark creatures. She has been woken by the darkness creeping around her home and has gone in search for someone who can help her bring back the light. She is the guardian of a power lying dormant in the forest but has grown weak herself. She needs to get help before the secret she has been hiding is revealed and falls into the wrong hands.

She is the only one of her kind as all the rest of her family has long since fallen in trying to protect the forest. What the audience knows is that there is something hidden in the forest, so powerful that it has been keeping everything in the forest alive for hundreds of years. Nothing ever dies, there is never any sickness and the creatures are kept safe from hunters and the like. It is considered a mystic ground by the neighboring town and is respected in its own right. Aria only remains to maintain the protection of the power force keeping the forest. But if she fails not only will the forest lose it's magic, she will lose her life. Kind of dark, but the kids don't need to know that.

MDIA 1020: Character Caricature (25pts)

This is my first time drawing caricatures and overall I think I did alright! That is, if you don't compare them to who they are supposed to look like. The first one is of John Lasseter, the Chief Creative Officer of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. The second is of Ellen DeGeneres, our favorite television host. Mr. Lasseter is showing off one of his 1,000 Hawaiian T-shirts (can you guess which one it is??) and Ellen is dancing like she always does. Hope you like them!
